"The emperor drove to ......"

After entering Kunning Palace, Ning Yu suddenly found that there were many more people in Kunning Palace, in addition to the Queen Mother and Chen Caiwei, as well as the daily female officials, there were also two imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital. Of course, due to Ning Chu's grass creation, the imperial doctors are all national players from the south of the Yangtze River, and the number is not very large, but the medical skills are still very exquisite.

"Congratulations to the emperor, the queen is happy, and her pregnancy has been revealed."

An old man bent down and said softly, he is the new envoy of this Tai Hospital, Ye Gui, known as Ye Tianshi, a famous national player in the south of the Yangtze River, who has the ability to get rid of the disease, and he is also the new envoy named by Ning Yu to let him do it.

When Ning Yu heard such good news, he was a little excited at the moment, and said, "This time, Mr. Lao, Mr. has worked hard." ”

Ye Tianshi showed a smile on his face, "The queen is in good health, there is no obstacle, and it is a blessing for the country to give birth to a dragon and phoenix in the future." ”

The queen mother on the side also smiled, "You, who have become emperors, have now become fathers, and the mourning family and your father are also a lot more relieved...... If there is no good news coming, I'm afraid you don't want to choose the draft! ”

Speaking of which, there is actually another thing in this, that is, after Ning Yu confirmed that he wanted to succeed to the throne, he soon faced a key problem, that is, there was no heir! Ensuring continuity is a vital matter for any group, and it is a matter of life and death that cannot be overlooked.

Therefore, someone said to the queen mother that she wanted to draft the emperor! Now there is a queen and a concubine, there are too few! At least a few dozen more must be selected to ensure the inheritance of the royal heirs, of course, this matter was also refuted by Ning Yu, care more about the people in the world, don't always care about the emperor's wife.

Of course, now that he has seen it, Ning Yu is also a little overjoyed in his heart, and glanced at Cui Xi who was lying on the bed, with a little blush on his face, and immediately stepped forward to hold Cui Xi's little hand, and did not speak, but his eyes looked at each other with infinite affection.

Chen Caiwei on the side looked at Cui Yu, and then at Ning Yu, but she was a little disappointed, and then smiled, as if nothing happened, but this scene was also seen by Ning Yu and Cui Xi, the two smiled, but they took Chen Caiwei and said some whispers together.

Soon, the news of the queen's happiness was also spread in the outer court, Cui Wancai, as the national abbot, naturally attached great importance to it, he personally invited Ye Tianshi to come, and asked about the relevant situation, and Ye Tianshi naturally said everything, and the two of them also belonged to such erudite people, and they talked happily for a while.

"Brother Ye, the old man also heard that you were called a half-immortal by the people in Jiangnan, and praised your medical skills, and even Kangxi suffered from a back sore back then, which was cured by you, and even gave you a plaque with the inscription 'No. 1 in the world', but is there such a thing?"

Speaking of this, Ye Tianshi couldn't help but show a little embarrassed look on his face, and sighed: "It's not a secret, Kangxi did invite me to Yanzhi at the beginning, and he did give me the first plaque in the world, but the old man was never proud of it....... The old man has been practicing medicine for decades, worshipping seventeen people as teachers, and finally learned medical ethics, from the emperor to the pawns, all of whom are doctors. ”

Cui Wancai laughed, "Speaking of which, Kangxi is also a blessed person, to be able to meet a master like Brother Ye, this world's first place is well deserved, Brother Ye's thoughts, the old man never knew, he also longed for it back then, and even had the idea of devoting himself to the apricot forest, hanging the pot to help the world, but it was not impossible to save the world." ”

Ye Tianshi's face showed a bit of emotion, "Ye knows that with the power of one person, he can only save the lives of hundreds of people and thousands of people at most, but now that Brother Cui is in a high position, it is related to the livelihood of tens of millions of Li Shu, this is the real road to salvation." ”

........

At the beginning of April, Ning Chu officially introduced a number of decrees such as the "King James Great Chu Civil Official Law" and the "King James Great Chu Meritorious Lord Law", and at the same time, the new official system was also officially made public to the world, that is, it was adjusted on the basis of the original Ming system, and many changes appeared in the details in order to better adapt to the new situation.

First of all, in the structure of the central government, the six ministries are no longer the backbone, but the six ministries are further split, and they have become the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Organization Department, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Religion. Of course, above the ministries, an Executive Yuan is set up to coordinate management, and the Executive Yuan is directly responsible to the Cabinet, and there is no president, but only an Executive Yuan company.

Some of the functions of the original six ministries have basically been split, like the original Ministry of Officials is usually responsible for the four divisions of document selection, seal inspection, inspection and merit, and now it has become the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Organization Department, and the original Ministry of Household is responsible for the management of land, household registration and national finance, with thirteen divisions, and now it is divided into the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and so on, so the whole structure has undergone great changes.

At the same time, the original Ming system of the Imperial Court was retained, and the original Supervision Yuan of the Han Army was changed to the Imperial Procuratorate, with the Imperial History of the Left and Right Cities, the Imperial History of the Left and Right Deputy Cities, the Imperial History of the Left and Right Cities, and the Thirteen Supervision Imperial History Divisions by Province, which were adjusted in terms of grades, and the grades of the Imperial History will be raised, responsible for supervising the central government offices, correcting the maladministration of the officials of the Hundred Divisions, as well as the local schools, patrolling salt, tea and horses, patrolling the Cao, supervising the army, and Tuntian, and only responsible to the cabinet and not reporting to the Executive Yuan.

This is also the significance of Ning Yu's efforts to strengthen supervision, and he intends to completely separate the Metropolitan Procuratorate from the Executive Yuan, which is responsible for administration, and in the future, the promotion of personnel within the Metropolitan Procuratorate will also be carried out within the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so as to ensure that its organizational structure will not be affected by outsiders as much as possible.

For example, the institutions related to the Ministry of Rites include Zongrenfu, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple, Pedestrian Division, Guozijian, Qintianjian, Tai Hospital, Jiaofang Division, Sanglu Division, Daolu Division, etc., among which Zongrenfu, Taichang Temple and Guanglu Temple are classified as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, while Honglu Temple, Siyi Pavilion and Pedestrian Division are classified as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Guozijian and Qintianjian are classified as the Ministry of Education, and Tai Hospital is classified as the Ministry of Health.

As for the Department of Religious Workshops, it was completely abolished by Ningyu, and the re-planned Department of Etiquette was assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there were also departments such as the Department of Monks and Daolu Divisions under the Ministry of Religion, so these departments will be completely managed by various ministries. In addition to administration and supervision, Ning Yu also listed the judicial department separately, that is, Dali Temple, which was responsible for reviewing and rehabilitating prisons.

In addition to these, what is even more important is that the organs related to the Ministry of War have been thoroughly divided into the Privy Council, which is divided into the General Staff Department, the General Logistics Department, the General Armament Department, and the Military Science Department, which are responsible for the command of the whole army. Of course, for such an important department, it is naturally weighed, that is, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is responsible for the management of the army, and there is no power to transfer troops in peacetime, and there must be the emperor's military charm and the order of the General Staff Department to be transferred.

After the formulation of these systems, the most important thing is the final confirmation of the cabinet system, of course, not to expand the power of the cabinet, but to some extent to shrink a lot, that is, the joint ministerial meeting made by Ning Yu, of course, in the past, there were also six ministry officials involved, but now the number of ministries has increased, coupled with the status of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, so it will appear more independent.

Ningyu clearly stipulates that the Executive Yuan, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Dali Temple, and the Privy Council belong to the same level, and the cabinet bureau is coordinated, but the subordinate departments are not allowed to do things, and the plans and decisions should be directly decided by the ministries and submitted to the cabinet for approval. If the approval is not approved, the plan will be readjusted, and if the approval is not approved for two consecutive times, it can be directly submitted to the emperor for approval.

From this point of view, Ning Yu is resolutely opposed to outsiders to guide insiders, although those cabinet elders are very good at people's hearts, but in more professional things, there are some laymen to guide insiders, so only the right to approve, but not to direct decision.

As for the local administrative organs, Ningyu did not copy the Ming and Qing systems, but completely changed them, so the so-called governor had long lost its original meaning, but reinstated the position of political envoy, in charge of the civil affairs and financial power of a province. As for the original judge, it was directly subordinate to the supervision of Dali Temple, and was only in charge of the judicial power of a province, and as for the supervision, it was responsible for the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

As for the local military affairs, a general military officer was set up, which was under the dual leadership of the Governor's Office and the Privy Council, in which the daily training and military resources were under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, and the Privy Council was responsible for wartime command and strategic mobilization, so as to facilitate better management of the local army.

Of course, the day-to-day military affairs of the province will be settled by the provincial military officer and the provincial privy council, and the provincial privy council will regularly go to the central privy council to report and rotate personnel, which can basically be said to have completely received the local forces into the hands of the central government.

The provincial level is simplified to the second level of the prefecture and county, the original so-called state level is all abolished, the small counties are merged into large counties, as for the other adjutant is modeled on the central structure, set up the provincial government executive yuan, the courtyard division is in charge of a department, there are civil affairs, education, degree support, persuasion and other departments, and set up patrol police road, in charge of the province's patrol police, fire protection, household registration and other affairs, at the same time, the provinces also set up the province to set up the industry road, in charge of the province's agriculture, industry and commerce and various traffic affairs.

When this series of adjustments and plans were introduced, Cui Wancai did not feel a little resistant in his heart, because according to the new plan, local power was to be significantly reduced, while centralized power reached the highest point in history.

"Your Majesty, if there is no financial power and military power in the local area, it may be a little too harsh..... In the system of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the power of the three local divisions was suppressed too much, so that the general situation of the governor and the others seemed to be a little heavier. ”

Cui Wancai's meaning is very simple, if you don't give local power, if there is any chaos at that time, there will be no way to extinguish it as soon as possible, but in Ning Yu's view, this point is completely limited to the local situation, and there is even a suspicion of correcting Song Ming's disadvantages of emphasizing internal and external affairs, but in fact, the power is too great......

The reason why the governors of the Ming and Qing dynasties did not have non-permanent positions, and even had to rotate them regularly, also had something to worry about in this regard, because the local governors could control the wealth, soldiers, and criminal power of a province, and their power was almost able to cover the sky with one hand, which was not in the interests of Ning Yu.

Ning Yu sighed softly: "Everything has a first step, and the recovery of local power is because the central ministries have carried out a great expansion, and only after unifying the finance, administration, justice and military can the central ministries carry out vertical control over the provincial divisions." ”

This is not something that Ning Yu gave the officials to negotiate, but a decision that has already been made, and there is no room for negotiation other than acceptance. In this regard, Ning Yu has even been much tougher than before, because this kind of division of power between the local and central governments is obviously impossible to achieve fair ends.

Of course, for the ministers, they are used to all kinds of changes in Ning Yu, so they will not be surprised. It's just that when the new cabinet system came out, it was a little unexciting, compared to the cabinet that controlled the overall situation in the Ming Dynasty, this Ning Chu's cabinet was almost much smaller in terms of power.

On the contrary, the new Executive Yuan has become the center of the system, and Ning Yu's purpose is still very clear in this regard, that is, the Executive Yuan, as a more powerful body, cannot be in the hands of one person or a few people, and every joint cabinet meeting needs to have the participation of all ministers.

For the six parts of the makeover, the ministers don't know whether they are happy or sad, at best, there are more and more pits for officials in the future, but the gold content of this official has undoubtedly declined, and the power is much smaller.

Ning Yu handed out a new handbook to the ministers, on which the responsibilities of each department have been clearly written, like the original imperial examination was assigned to the Ministry of Education, like the selection and appointment of officials to the Organization Department, as for the original General Administration Department has now become a company run by the Executive Yuan, and the original three divisions have been upgraded, but they are only connected with the cabinet and the emperor......

A trace of worry flashed on Li Fu's face, in his original opinion, the change of this government structure is nothing more than a change of name, and the actual things are all changes without changing medicines, but now it seems that the power has been decomposed into various departments, and the cabinet has become a little useless, and the emperor can completely pinch the employment and financial power in the palm of his hand through the direct ministries, as for the six ministries that could still limit the emperor, they disappeared without a trace......

"Emperor Qiqi, now that the inner court no longer interferes in the affairs of the outer court, where should these red powers bego?" Li Fu's question attracted many people at once, strictly to explain that the eunuchs did not have the right to approve the red when the system was made, but then there were too many things, and the emperor was too busy to do so, so this part of the power fell on the head of the eunuchs, and now that there are no eunuchs, this part of the power will naturally attract attention.

"All matters discussed by the ministries of the Executive Yuan are submitted to the Cabinet, and a joint meeting of Cabinet Ministers is convened to approve whether or not to approve or not, and I am only responsible for auditing and retrospective, and is no longer responsible for ordinary political affairs. The provincial recitals involve matters related to the relevant departments, and the cabinet will be presented together. ”

Ning Yu showed a little smile on his face, and then said: "All matters involving the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple will be directly submitted to me, and the matters of the Privy Council will also be handled by me personally. ”

This attitude is obvious, for these most complicated and huge ordinary government affairs, the emperor is only responsible for the time trace, and whoever is responsible at that time is whose responsibility. However, the supervision and law enforcement, as well as the military power, were all held in the hands of the emperor himself, and these things were used as whips to drive the Executive Yuan and the cabinet forward.
